About the restaurant
Melbournians seem to have an insatiable appetite for dumplings, so Man Tong Kitchen at the Crown is guaranteed to be busy. The name means ‘full house' in Chinese, a fitting reflection of the bountiful décor, which uses traditional Chinese wood craftsmanship. Ornate glowing lamps and rich red pintucked leather couch seats are reminiscent of colonial glamour, creating an elegant, refined ambience. Watch the chefs delicately prepare dim sim through the large front window before feasting on the restaurants signature Xiao Long Bau soup-filled dumplings and Peking Duck.
